Jaya House River Park

Jaya House River Park is a 36-room boutique hotel beside the Siem Reap River, a short ride from the temples of Angkor, in Cambodia. The 1960s Cambodian Modernist building fronts onto two pools, one lined in silver tiles, the other shaded beneath mature trees, and every room opens onto either a balcony or direct garden and pool access. Jaya House is Cambodia's first plastic-free hotel, and its toiletries are made in-house from Cambodian plant extracts.

A tuk-tuk and phone come assigned to every room, for trips into town or out to the temples 10 minutes away. The Trorkuon restaurant mixes Khmer dishes with Western staples and a vegan menu. A daily spa treatment is included per stay. In the evening, the rooftop Sky Bar is the place to be, looking out over the treeline to the river, with a happy hour cocktails in hand.
